Israeli general calls for new security system to pave way to peace

An Israeli general says Israel should start implementing a new multi-layered security system that could help pave the way to a two-state peace deal with the Palestinians and address the fears of many Israelis.

Retired Maj. Gen. Gadi Shamni, co-author of a new study on arrangements to provide better security for both Israelis and Palestinians, said its proposals include the phased redeployment of Israeli security forces with target timetables, and can create more incentives for peace.
